The TON-focused wallet company Tonkeeper is no longer called Tonkeeper. It has changed its name to Keeper and added support for six blockchains outside The Open Network, which makes one of the TON ecosystem’s largest self-custodial wallets a multichain product instead.
The move was announced on Tuesday. Keeper now supports TON, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, and Base. The company’s Battery feature lets users pay transaction fees without holding each network’s native token, and Keeper plans to expand it to every supported network within a year.
What the Rebrand Means
Tonkeeper has become the home of TON, a platform trusted by millions of people worldwide,” Andrew Rogozov, founder and CEO of the Open Platform, said in a statement. “and now Keeper is set to carry that trust further, expanding our simple approach beyond TON into the wider crypto economy.”
Keeper Nikita Monastyrskiy, CMO of Keeper, said the shift was driven by his own users. He told Decrypt that the rebrand mirrors how their crypto activity has grown past TON.
“The people who trusted Tonkeeper stopped living on a single chain,” Monastyrskiy said. “They hold USDT on Tron, Bitcoin, ETH, and assets on the L2s, and they were managing all of it across four or five apps while keeping their most important one for TON.”
Monastyrskiy explained that the Tonkeeper name was no longer fitting for users who needed support across multiple chains, which is why the project moved to Keeper instead.
The Battery Feature
Self-custodial wallets leave control of crypto assets with their users instead of an exchange or another intermediary. Keeper’s Battery feature lets users pay transaction fees without holding each network’s native token. The company plans to expand it to every supported network within a year but did not say which networks support it at launch.
Keeper spoke up with these words: “Adding new chains was just the first step,”. “Over the coming year, Keeper will focus on turning its multichain capabilities into something users rely on every day, not just a place to store assets, but a wallet they actively use.”
Telegram’s Role
Over the last few years, Telegram has been building up its connections with TON. In January 2025, the company set TON as the sole blockchain supporting crypto-enabled mini apps. A year later, Telegram stepped up its involvement in managing the network itself.
Keeper’s Open Platform raised $28.5 million at a $1 billion valuation in 2025, and it builds other TON products too. It also runs the self-custodial TON Wallet that sits inside Telegram.
A wider set of financial products has grown up around the broader system. In June, a TON-based service brought down the barrier to staking via Telegram 2025. That same month, Libre and the TON Foundation rolled out a $1 million tokenized Telegram bond fund, which had been announced earlier in April $500.
What Keeper Plans Next
Keeper is planning to include cross-chain swaps, DeFi products, spending tools, a decentralized-app browser, a loyalty program, and perpetual-futures trading, without giving launch dates for any of them.
The multichain push will give current users a single app for their holdings while also bringing the wallet’s TON features to more people, Monastyrskiy said.
“We are expanding beyond TON ecosystem while staying closely connected to it,” he said. “This way users finally get one app for everything. Everyone else gets to find out why we are the number one self-custodial wallet on TON.”
The State of Multichain Wallets
For years, the TON ecosystem has been expanding outward. In June, STON.fi’s cross-chain swaps connect TON with Tron and several Ethereum-compatible networks. MyTonWallet’s changed their name to My Wallet, bringing them to 11 networks. Now Keeper is following suit with its own multichain push.
Keeper was one of the TON ecosystem’s largest self-custodial wallets.
The Battery Question
The Battery feature is central to Keeper’s pitch. It lets users pay transaction fees without holding each network’s native token.
Keeper has not yet completed rolling out the feature across all its supported networks. The company says it intends to extend it to every supported network within a year, though it has not specified which networks will be included at launch.
Why the Name Change Made Sense
Keeper is taking a practical approach by folding several separate apps into a single interface, since users were already handling assets across multiple chains using multiple apps.
What Monastyrskiy shared about the signal from users was revealing. He did not claim the company made the decision to grow. Instead, he reported that the users themselves had already taken the action, and they were the ones who told him about it.
The Road Ahead
The scope of Keeper’s ambitions is considerable: cross-chain swaps, DeFi products, spending tools, a decentralized-app browser, a loyalty program, and perpetual-futures trading all sit on the roadmap. That list amounts to a great deal of construction. No date has been set for any of it.
A year marks the company’s plan, and its aim is for multichain abilities to become daily necessities rather than mere repositories for holding assets. That is what it has said publicly.
